THE CURVE
SUMMIT 2026

The inaugural value-creation summit for travel baseball & softball.

Two days with the people building the future of the game — owners, partners, and industry leaders — capped by the Diamond Sports Foundation Fundraiser. This isn't a conference you sit through. It's a working room built the way you actually run your club.

–––– Mindset: Value Creation

STOP THINKING
LIKE A VENDOR.
START BUILDING VALUE.

The game has grown into a real industry. This Summit is where the people running it get sharper — together. We're flipping the format. Less sitting through pitches,

more walking out with ideas you can run on Monday. For clubs and vendors alike.

THE OLD WAY

A conference you sit through

Vendors pitch from a stage. Owners nod. Everyone collects a tote bag and a stack of business cards, and nothing changes back home.

THE CURVE WAY

A room that creates value

Operators and partners in the same room, trading what actually works. Every club and every vendor leaves with ideas — and relationships — worth more than the trip

THE FORMAT

EVERYONE BRINGS ONE IDEA

One thing you've actually done to create value — make money, cut cost, or win a family. You share yours, you walk out with everyone else's. Real ideas from real operators, across every part of the business.

–––– There Will Be Debates

Real operators.
Opposing sides.
Pick one.

No slides. No consultants. Just operators who've done it, arguing the calls that actually move a program's bottom line.

Debate 01

Making money from tryouts

Cost center or your most underused revenue day of the year? Two operators, two very different playbooks.

Debate 03

Localized "Bolts" teams

Does a localized, affiliated feeder model grow the brand and the pipeline — or dilute what you've built?

Debate 02

Testing as a revenue engine

TrackMan, Rapsodo, Proteus — do you give the data away, or build a real business around it?

Debate 04

Pricing

What is your program actually worth — and why is almost everyone in the room underpricing it?

It will be dynamic — and nothing like you've experienced.
